2nd Set Subject Competition (2023/24) – Triptych

Hand-In: 11th September 2025
Judging: 25th September 2025

19th February 2024 Gordon

The second Set Subject Competition – a Triptych Print competition – was held on 15th Feb, judged by John Riley from Tyldesley, Manchester. John is a semi-retired freelance photographer who provided quite short, but entertaining comments on the entries. One particular theme was that he was looking at how the images fitted together and even small details like the alignment of the images is important. With a Triptych, a set of individually weaker but matching images is often better than a set of individually strong but unmatched images.

The top scoring images are listed below.

Member Name	Title	Pts
Carol Watson	Faded Pulsatilla Flowers	20
Sheila Giles	Harvest Mice Foraging	20
Clive McDonald	Houseproud	20
Sheila Giles	Red Eyed Tree Frogs	20
Mike Halstead	Attitude	19
Elaine Cook	Ebb And Flow	19
Simon Ray	Fountains Abbey	19
Peter Darby	Kestrel Feeding	19

The featured image for this competition is Houseproud by Clive McDonald which was John’s favourite on the night.
